英语语法的考查重点三

http://www.Yingyusanji.com 成人英语三级考试网 2008-03-21 网络 未知 浏览:
三、定语从句
  定语从句在四级英语测试中占有一定的比重,大约在词汇语法题的7.4%,平均每次都有一题,实际测试中有时多达三道题,如1996年6月,98年6月和2000年6月都有三倒考查定语从句的题。在我们讲四级英语测试对定语从句的考查之前,先让我们看以下几题:
  Test yourself
  1) Living in the central Australian desert has its problems, ____
  obtaining water is not the least.(1998.1)
  A.for which   B.to which   C.of which   D.in which
  2) A survey was carried out on the death rate of new-born babies in that region, ____were surprising. (1999.1)

  A. 参考答案: 1) C 2) D 3) B 4) A 5) D 6) A 7) A
  8) D 9) C 10) A
  B. 评析
  从以上各题可以看出,定语从句的考查还是集中在关系词的选择,与1,2,3级不同,四级考试中的定语从句虽然也有关系词最一般的用法,但更多的是对特殊关系词的考查。总的说来有以下几点需要注意
  ① 关系词的使用一看先行词,二看关系词在从句中的作用,在此基础上熟记几个常用的固定句式,如:
  the same … as
  such … as
  当看到先行词前有the same 或such修饰时,可直接从选项中找as,选择就变得比较简单,如8.在这种情况下,考生用不着考虑先行词是人还是物。如
  Our company won't employ such graduates as you recommend.
  I'm determined to buy such a flat as you are now living in.
  ② 上面有两道题涉及到关系词在句中做定语。同学们应该熟悉关系词做定语时的各种变体。
  做定语的关系词可有以下变体,试比较:
  the office whose windows are broken
  the office the windows of which are broken
  the office of which the windows are broken
  上面的2)题就属于the windows of which这种形式。
  先行词是人时,同样也可有这三种形式,如:
  the professor whose car was stolen
  the professor the car of whom was stolen
  the professor of whom the car was stolen
  当然考试中也有最一般形式的考查,如上面的6),只要能够看出关系词做定语修饰overall consumption就不难判断答案为whose.
  ③ 注意“介词 which/whom”的结构做关系词
  从四级考试对定语从句的测试来看,主要考查的是介词的选择。“介词 which/whom”主要有以下几种情况
  A. 介词是句中短语搭配的一部分,如3)。表示“信任某人”要用have confidence in somebody,所以做定语,应该用a chairman in whom … has confidence.
  B. “部分 of 整体名词”的结构,该结构,做关系词也就是 “部分名词 of which/whom”的结构。
  该结构的使用应注意两点,一是注意定语从句与并列句的分别,如:
  He invited two scientists to his birthday party, many of _____ were
  his old classmates.
  A.whom B.them C.which D.that
  这里很自然地会有many of whom 与many of them的选择。
  二是注意该结构可以有变体,即“of whom/which 部分名词”,上面的5)题就是一例,可以写成up to half of whom.
  C. 另一种介词是表示最高级范围的介词,四级考题中已经有两个这种考题,如上面的1)题,其实该句表示的是obtaining water is not the least of its problems, 所以用of which,2000年6月又有一道与此基本完全相同的题:
  Living in the western part of the country has its problems, ____ obtaining fresh water is not the least.
  A.with which B.for which C.of which D.which (2000.6)
  D. 更多的是看关系词与先行词之间的关系,如:
  He has composed many pieces of music popular with young people, of which this is an example.
